The Libya National Interim Council, also known as the transitional council, released a statement outlining the future of a democratic Libya and post-Gaddafi era. They outline their aspirations to draft a constitution to uphold the rights of all citizens, form political organizations (which has never existed within the country under Gaddafi), maintain a civil and peaceful transfer of power, preserve freedom of speech and media, and to establish a society based on justice, faith, and equality.

Your “Vision of a Democratic Libya” is an interesting foundation piece. One suggestion that I offer to you: beware of espousing a “strong and productive public sector” (7.b) The experience of countless countries point to the error of doing this. Where you have strong and productive public sectors, you will find corruption, inefficiency, and the crowding out of private sector enterprises. Public sector enterprises are not able to compete with private enterprises, but because they are part of the government, they dominate the economy and waste resources. That is why countries that follow this misguided route to development always end up having to privatize these public enterprises. Inform yourselves about this very important issue by reading, consulting reputable economists, and checking with people in countries that have transformed themselves from poor to robustly prosperous countries. Good luck to you! I wish you and all the Libyan people a brighter future, a future that is yours to forge and shape.
